10.3. BEAR Shelters

10.3.1. Small Shelter System (SSS). This all-purpose tent-type shelter (Figure 10.1) is used for billeting, work areas, latrines and showers, storage, etc. It is stored and shipped in its own container, four containers per 463L pallet. When fully erected, this shelter measures 32.5 feet long by 20 feet wide by 10 feet high (650 sq ft). The SSS is equipped to accept 120/208 VAC, 60-cycle, single-phase power. This shelter is commonly referred to as the “Triple-S” and has been designated as the replacement for the TEMPER tent through attrition. Compared to the TEMPER tent, it is less costly, slightly lighter, tighter, and more vector proof. It also requires less day-to-day maintenance when erected, and its fabric is easier to repair. A minimum of six people are required to safely assemble this structure in about 1.5 hours (nine labor hours) and multiple buildings can be interconnected. See T.O. 35E5-6-11, Alaska Small Shelter System (AKSSS), for further instructions.
